His Wicked Obsession (Archer and Virginia) novel Chapter 349

Virginia tapped the link. It directed her to a national hit talk show, Star Spotlight.

On the screen, Miles, dressed in high-end designer streetwear with a Chrome Hearts necklace gleaming coldly against his chest, sat comfortably on a sofa being interviewed.

The host asked, "Miles, you have such explosive popularity right now and a completely packed schedule. What has kept you going and motivated you to push through?"

Miles flashed a brilliant, trademark smile at the camera.

"My sister," he replied with absolute sincerity, without a second of hesitation. "Growing up, she was always the one protecting me, standing right in front of me. Back then, our family situation was terrible. She suffered through hell herself, but she gave me the best of everything."

He stared straight into the lens, as if he were speaking directly to Virginia through the screen.

"Now that I've grown up, it's my turn to protect her. From now on, I won't let anyone bully her."

As the interview continued, Virginia watched the bright, shining young man on her screen, her eyes burning and her fingertips trembling slightly.

In those dark, hopeless years, she wasn't the only one standing on the front lines.

He was the one who had planted himself firmly in front of her with his hands on his hips, determined to keep her safe even when he was trapped in his own hell...

Taking a deep breath to steady her emotions, she typed a brief reply to Archer: [I saw it. Thank you.]

Thank you for sending me such a precious video.

The door to the children's room on the second floor was left ajar. Toby sat in the corner of the rug. Although he held a building block in his hands, his gaze was somewhat vacant and hollow.

Thick bandages were wrapped around his arm, covering the gash left by a pair of scissors days ago.

Chloe wore a thin white nightgown, her face deathly pale, her long hair draped messily over her shoulders.
